I am sorry to hear they would not come in for you swambuster.. But, I am glad to hear that you had heard some. That almost always gets you blood pumping knowing you are near them. Yes, those dam coyotes are a pain. Last year a guy was setting his decoys out and a coyote ran up and bit his hand as he was letting go of the decoy. Then it ran off with a turkey shot in his but.. They guessed that the coyote never saw the guy and went after his decoy..
Last year I set up on a hill and the turkeys stayed at the bottom go figure..( same place a bear got into my blind and i had to sew it back up ) But where I was it was all open with a pile of large rocks I snucked over to for cover. I got my biggest bird of last year by doing that. There was 2 toms there and when 1 of them stuck his head up and looked at me I blasted it.. Anyways enough out of me and hoping you have better luck next time out there..
